Whenever Colloquy needs to pop up a notification (for example, when you are PM'd), it uses its built-in Growl notifications, which really annoy me because they stay on the screen until they are clicked (at least NOTICE's do anyways).

I'd like to make Colloquy use the Growl that I have installed on my Mac, not its built-in Growl notifications. That way, I could change its preferences from the Growl .prefpane and it would match the look of all my other notifications. I seem to remember this being possible (maybe in a bug report or something), but I can't remember how. Thanks!

I don't think it's because Colloquy is using it's own installed version of Growl, it's just because it's changing the settings used when it displays its notifications.

@Mark No, that's not true. If it were using the system-wide Growl, its preferences would be configurable in the .prefpane. It uses its own built-in Growl as a safeguard for computers that don't have Growl already installed.

Yes, I've turned that off in the preferences. It's not the staying on the screen I have an issue with, it's the "getting colloquy to use built-in growl" problem. Thanks anyways.

@Chris Burgess the growl api changed in 1.3 (something to do with getting on the app store) so many apps aren't compatible with it. I've reverted to 1.2.2 on lion and so far so good.

@cerberos Thanks. There are good alternatives now too; I ended up switching to Textual from the AppStore.
